Improving Teaching And Learning

This article presents an exploratory study of the experiences of university teachers during Emergency Remote Teaching (ERE) in response to COVID-19. Teaching practices, conditions for remote teaching and teachers’ working conditions were investigated under a systematic approach. An internet survey was applied to all teachers at the Universidad Tecnológica del Norte de Aguascalientes. Results show an overload of academic activities among teachers, an increase in working hours due to planning and assessment in online environments, and other sources of stress among teachers. Some difficulties faced by the institution are hightlighted and conclusions emphasize the importance of ensuring inputs that contribute to improving teaching and learning environments, preserving the health of teachers and continuing the research on the influence of different teaching conditions on teaching practices.

The subculture of mortuary workers spends much of its working hours with the dead. Society fails to acknowledge much of the psychological distress they experience, such as use of maladaptive coping mechanisms, substance use etc. Few studies have investigated mortuary workers, especially in developing nations. This exploratory study in Bengaluru, India aimed to gather and consider the perspectives of three mortuary workers, one doctor of forensic medicine and one mental health professional regarding the stresses of working with death. A thematic analysis of these interviews revealed the themes of occupational support and psychological effects of mortuary work. The unique nature of their job suggests further research is required regarding a need for counselling practices, designed to alleviate their stress.

Der Einfluss atypischer, d.h. langer oder außerhalb der üblichen Zeiten liegender Arbeitszeiten auf Gesundheit und Unfallrisiken ist gut belegt. Weniger umfassend dokumentiert ist der Zusammenhang zwischen atypischen Arbeitszeiten und den Möglichkeiten zu sozialer Teilhabe. In diesem Beitrag präsentieren wir Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Erhebung zu arbeitszeitbedingten Beeinträchtigungen sozialer Teilhabe in Österreich. Ziel der explorativ angelegten Untersuchung war, die Zusammenhänge zwischen langen Arbeitszeiten, Arbeit zu Randzeiten (Abend, Wochenende, Nacht) sowie eigenen Einflussmöglichkeiten und Planbarkeit der Arbeitszeit mit der sozialen Teilhabe der Beschäftigten zu untersuchen. Insbesondere atypische Lagen von Arbeitszeiten und fremdgesteuerte Flexibilität – im Sinne schlechter Planbarkeit der Arbeitsanforderungen – können die soziale Teilhabe negativ beeinflussen. The influence of atypical working hours, i.e. long working hours or working hours outside the usual hours, on health and accident risks is well documented. Less well documented is the relationship between atypical working hours and the opportunities for social participation. In this paper we present the results of a qualitative survey on work-time related impairments of social participation in Austria. The aim of the exploratory study was to identify possible indicators for a future measurement of the impact of atypical working hours on social participation. On the basis of case studies in companies in several sectors, it becomes clear that atypical working time situations and externally controlled flexibility - in the sense of poor planning of working hours - have a particularly negative impact on social participation.

Purpose This exploratory study examined the language skills and the type and frequency of disfluencies in the spoken narrative production of Spanish–English bilingual children who do not stutter. Method A cross-sectional sample of 29 bilingual students (16 boys and 13 girls) enrolled in grades prekindergarten through Grade 4 produced a total of 58 narrative retell language samples in English and Spanish. Key outcome measures in each language included the percentage of normal (%ND) and stuttering-like (%SLD) disfluencies, percentage of words in mazes (%MzWds), number of total words, number of different words, and mean length of utterance in words. Results Cross-linguistic, pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences with medium effect sizes for %ND and %MzWds (both lower for English) as well as for number of different words (lower for Spanish). On average, the total percentage of mazed words was higher than 10% in both languages, a pattern driven primarily by %ND; %SLDs were below 1% in both languages. Multiple linear regression models for %ND and %SLD in each language indicated that %MzWds was the primary predictor across languages beyond other language measures and demographic variables. Conclusions The findings extend the evidence base with regard to the frequency and type of disfluencies that can be expected in bilingual children who do not stutter in grades prekindergarten to Grade 4. The data indicate that %MzWds and %ND can similarly index the normal disfluencies of bilingual children during narrative production. The potential clinical implications of the findings from this study are discussed.

Abstract. To advance knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between leadership and employees’ well-being, this study examines leaders’ effects on their employees’ compensatory coping efforts. Using an extension of the job demands–resources model, we propose that high-quality leader–member exchange (LMX) allows employees to cope with high job demands without increasing their effort expenditure through the extension of working hours. Data analyses ( N = 356) revealed that LMX buffers the effect of quantitative demands on the extension of working hours such that the indirect effect of quantitative demands on emotional exhaustion is only significant at low and average levels of LMX. This study indicates that integrating leadership with employees’ coping efforts into a unifying model contributes to understanding how leadership is related to employees’ well-being. The notion that leaders can affect their employees’ use of compensatory coping efforts that detract from well-being offers promising approaches to the promotion of workplace health.
